Abstract: (77 Views)
The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of group dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) on experiential avoidance and psychological well-being of women with ovarian cancer. The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group with a three-month follow-up period. The statistical population included women with ovarian cancer referring to a cancer specialist clinic in Sari in 2025. 30 people were selected using a non-random sampling method and were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n=15) and the control group (n=15). Data collection was performed using the Multidimensional Experiential Avoidance Questionnaire (MEAQ; Gámez et al., 2011) and the Psychological Well-Being Scale 18-item (RSPWB-18; Ryff, 1989). DBT was implemented in a group setting based on the Linehan protocol for eight 90-minute sessions. The data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance. The findings showed that DBT resulted in a decrease in experiential avoidance and an increase in psychological well-being compared to the control group from pre-test to post-test and follow-up (P<0.05). Also, in the experimental group, no significant difference was observed between the post-test and follow-up scores in the variables of experiential avoidance and psychological well-being (P<0.05), indicating the stability of changes over time. Overall, it can be concluded that DBT is an efficient and useful intervention for improving experiential avoidance and psychological well-being in women with ovarian cancer.
